Designated Wilderness

America’s designated Wilderness areas protect some of the last truly wild landscapes in the country. Managed under the Wilderness Act of 1964, these places are set aside to remain “untrammeled by man,” where natural processes take priority and visitors experience solitude, self-reliance, and adventure. Whether you’re backpacking, fishing, hunting, or simply seeking quiet, Wilderness offers a chance to disconnect from modern life and reconnect with the natural world.
